If he can't handle our expectations, how on earth will he handle Barca's? I find his utterance weird. Barca are on the decline with waaay bigger fan expectations.”Everton are a club, and also the fans, who expect sometimes too much and I think sometimes they are still living in the past about the great seasons that they had at Everton.”
Admitting his own failings there. To paraphrase -
"Everton both as a club and their fanbase, expect to return to the great successful seasons that they have had in the past. I found that difficult, it was too much for me"
Would much sooner hear this from a former manager, rather than "The club and their supporters lack ambition"
It's very heartening to hear that the club (presumably he means those responsible for running the club) have a burning ambition to return us to former glories.
If he had said that Everton as a club lack ambition, then I WOULD be fuming.
It was a weird time.If he can't handle our expectations, how on earth will he handle Barca's? I find his utterance weird. Barca are on the decline with waaay bigger fan expectations.
He is frankly deflecting blame for his own incompetence. Fan expectations didn't sign Bolassie and 3 no. 10s lol
I argued with a Barça fan today who insists that Messi generates twice the amount for the club. I don't believe that personally but if it were true it would mean the board must be even more incompetent than they appear. And that's a high bar.Astounding money.
Bartomeu will go down as the most stupidest chairman ever in Football.
We know Messi is the greatest player ever, but to give a 4 year contract like that would cause financial ruin and it's absolute come home to roost, they haven't paid the players since the middle of December.
80% of their turnover is on wages, with Messi getting 60-70%.
Utterly astounding leadership from Bartomeu that could bring down one of the world's greatest sport names to ruin.
Over 2 million. I got the calculator out and it works out at almost 16,000 euros an hour. I'm a big fan but that's absolutely obscene.Hang on is Messi on over a million a week?!
Took over a good Pochetinho's side at Southampton.
Out of the 9 club's he's managed, 7 of them he's lasted 12months.
Internationals may suit him as he spends 3 weeks max with the national side and picks the players he wants without complaints or agro from players he can snub.
He's had pedigree of causing upset at Valencia, Everton, and now Barca.
So no. He's a fraud.
